Application filed March 5, 1910,8eria1 No. 547,428. Renewed January 6, 1914. Serial No. 810,858.

' To all whom it may concern:

7 Be ft known that I, HERBERT V. HARD- MAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Belleville, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving-Brushes and the like, of

which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention has particular reference to those shaving brushes which are provided with a removable bristle-bunch hav-' ing a ferrule provided with screw threads which permit it to 'be screwed into and out of a' threaded socket in the handle of the brush.

My object is to so construct the ferrule that the bunch-head will be locked against coming loose in the ferrule during the act of screwing the bunch in or out of the handle socket.

To this end "my invention consists in the peculiar features and combinations of parts more fully described hereinafter and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a lon 'tudinal section of my improved ferrule or shaving brushes and the like. Fig. 2' a front view of the ferrule, Fig. 3, a; back view thereof, and Fig. 4 is a sectional edge view.

The numeral 1 indicates an inte ral stamped-out sheet metal ferrule adapted to surround the head 2 of a bunch of bristles 3 such as those in an ordinary form of shaving brush. Screw threads 4 are formed in the periphery of the ferrule, the edges of which are converged inwardly to form a bevel 9 in order to bind and lock the bunch against pulling out. Thus far the construction is will sometlmesturn on its longitudinal axis in the ferrulewhen the latter sticks too ing integral flanges 7 serving as looking lugs which become embedded in the rubber or other cement 8 of the bunch head when the latter is inserted in the ferrule in a soft state. Upon the hardening of the cement these flanges will prevent the bristle bunch from rotating within the ferrule, while the bevel 9 prevents the bunch from pulling out.

Although I have shown one partlcular form of my invention it is manifest that the construction could be varied in numerous ways without escaping the scope and spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters'Patent, is:

In a shaving brush, a bristle bunch fer-,

ing within the ferrule while "the bevel prevents the'bunch from pullin out.

In testimony whereof I a in presence of two witnesses.

HERBERT v. HARDMAN.
